Gibson Custom Shop Richie Faulkner Flying V Custom, Pelham Blue w/ Case Gibson Custom Shop

The Gibson Custom Shop Richie Faulkner Flying V Custom is the result of a unique partnership between Gibson and Richie Faulkner, the influential lead guitarist for legendary metal band Judas Priest and the supergroup Elegant Weapons. This limited edition guitar, of which only 100 units are available globally, showcases Faulkner’s signature style and preference for the iconic Flying V model.

Comprising a one-piece mahogany body, this guitar includes a full-face pickguard and multi-ply binding. It’s finished in Pelham Blue, a color that enhances its aesthetics and contributes to its unique character.

The guitar’s mahogany neck features a custom Richie Faulkner profile that is paired with an ebony fingerboard for smooth playability. It has a 12″ fingerboard radius, 22 frets, and Mother of Pearl block inlays, including a distinct falcon inlay at the 12th fret.

The Richie Faulkner Flying V Custom is outfitted with Richie Faulkner Signature EMG pickups that provide a tone tailored for heavy metal and hard rock genres. The electronics layout is straightforward, with just a master volume control and a 3-way toggle switch for selecting pickups.

Other specifications include a Floyd Rose bridge and Grover tuning machines for stable tuning and pitch control. The guitar comes with a TKL Faulkner V hardshell case for protection and transport. The Gibson Custom Shop Richie Faulkner Flying V Custom brings together Gibson’s craftsmanship and Faulkner’s design inputs in a limited edition model.
